Criminal Defense Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Tarrant County, Euless Municipal Court

Allegations

Police were called to a hotel parking lot where the client was found asleep in the driver seat of a parked vehicle after having drinks. He cooperated throughout, but officers concluded he was intoxicated in a public place and issued a citation. We obtained the bodycam and reports and challenged whether he posed a danger to himself or others, the key element of the offense. When the state declined to dismiss, we negotiated a short, non-reporting deferred probation with a fine, keeping a conviction off his record.

Charge

Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

Probation moved to revoke after a multi agency search led to an arrest in another county and a series of technical alerts, including GPS exclusion zone pings and a few late or missed breath tests. We pulled the supervision file, interlock logs, and monitoring records and showed the client was otherwise compliant and that no new case had been filed. We worked with probation to correct the zone settings and cure any reporting issues. Confronted with those gaps and due process concerns, the prosecutor dismissed the revocation.

Charge

Disorderly Conduct - Exposure (Class C)

Location

Dallas County, Justice of the Peace, 3-1

Allegations

After a complaint from rideshare passengers, our client received a citation alleging disorderly conduct exposure. Discovery showed no photos, video, or third-party corroboration, only conflicting statements about what was said and shown in the car. We pressed the prosecutor on the proof problems and the practical risk to both sides if the case went to trial. Leveraging those weaknesses, we secured a short deferred probation with a modest fine and no conviction. After completion, the client became eligible to move forward with an expunction.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D432

Allegations

While on felony probation, the client was arrested in another jurisdiction during a broader investigation. Probation tightened conditions with GPS monitoring and alcohol testing and filed a motion to revoke. We pulled the probation file and device logs, corrected misinformation about exclusion zones and alleged missed blows, and documented ongoing compliance. We also pressed the prosecutor on the absence of any filed new case to support a violation. After negotiations with probation and the State, the court dismissed the motion to revoke and the client remained on probation.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, 265th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Already on supervision for a felony drug case, the client missed reporting after becoming homeless and relocating, and a revocation was filed. A later traffic stop led to arrest on the warrant and an initial push from prior counsel to accept months in jail. We took over, compiled proof of steady employment and caregiving, pointed to clean drug tests and an assessment recommending marijuana classes, and coordinated a voluntary surrender to clear the warrant. After negotiations with the prosecutor and probation, the court kept the client on supervision with added conditions.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Dallas County, Criminal District Court No. 2

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication when probation alleged violations for a positive drug test and failure to participate in required classes. We reviewed the motion, confirmed the treatment issue was tied to payments, and arranged re-enrollment. Our team expedited an evaluation and met with the client in custody to prepare and prevent further setbacks. We engaged the prosecutor early, pushing to preserve deferred status while addressing compliance gaps. The case ended with continued probation on modified terms, including a marijuana class and renewed therapy, and the client was released.

Charge

Unlawful Restraint

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

After a family dispute, a relative left the residence on foot. The client located her, helped her into a car, and she attempted to call 911, which led to an arrest for unlawful restraint. Our team got involved early, monitored the filing status, and once it was filed obtained the state’s discovery. We collected witness statements and background materials that framed the incident as a safety concern and challenged the initial narrative. The complainant later indicated she did not wish to continue. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor, and the state dismissed the case.

Charge

Resisting or Evading Arrest

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

Officers stopped the client after a 911 reckless driving report. During the encounter, things escalated and the client was accused of resisting or evading, though the client later had little recollection of the exchange. We secured the reports and bodycam, mapped out the timeline, and scrutinized whether clear commands were given and whether there was any intentional obstruction or flight. We pressed the State on the gaps in proof and made clear we were ready to litigate. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, D372

Allegations

While on felony probation from a prior THC cartridge case, the client missed several check-ins and had outstanding community service, prompting a motion to revoke and a warrant. We confirmed all supervision fees were paid, collected documentation of his community service efforts, and opened direct talks with the prosecutor. We addressed the absences with context and mitigation, and proposed a constructive alternative to punishment. The state agreed to close the revocation upon a documented charitable donation to a local food bank. The motion was withdrawn and the case was dismissed.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

Our client faced a misdemeanor motion to revoke probation after the ignition interlock allegedly showed alcohol and caused a few lockouts. On one drive the unit gave a warning, then a pass, then a fail, then another pass, and the camera could not clearly confirm who was blowing. He had no new offenses, was near the end of probation, and had proof of completed classes and payments. We obtained the vendor logs, compiled his compliance records, and challenged the reliability of the readings. The State withdrew the motion and the court dismissed the case.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Tarrant County, CCC6

Allegations

The client faced a misdemeanor motion to revoke probation after supervision alleged alcohol use based on ignition interlock readings and brief device lockouts. He reported a fail, then pass sequence within the same drive and ongoing equipment issues, and there were no new offenses while he was close to finishing conditions. We obtained the device logs, flagged the inconsistent low readings and unreliable photo verification, and documented substantial compliance with probation terms. Prepared to contest the proof at a hearing, we pressed the prosecution on the weaknesses. The prosecution dismissed the MTRP.

Charge

Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon

Location

Tarrant County, CCC5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for a minor plate issue, officers asked about weapons and the client disclosed a pistol stored under the center console. They then alleged drug possession and used that to claim the weapon was unlawful. We obtained bodycam and reports, secured purchase records and packaging for the hemp product, and pressed for lab testing. The evidence did not establish an illegal substance, so the state lacked the predicate offense needed for UCW. With those defects and our readiness to litigate, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
